Feature details

The near real-time functionality lets you see, within seconds, the latest interactions that your customers have made with your products or services.

While scheduled refreshes include large numbers of records and several complex operations, they can take minutes to hours. Some business scenarios require faster ingestion of data.

Real-time data ingestion provides data immediately for consumption in Customer Insights, until the subsequent scheduled refresh pulls this data from the data source. Real-time updates have an expiration time and are therefore not considered a replacement for scheduled refreshes.
